During this year I shall be posting photographs from places around the UK, many of which have not been published before. Where I have previously blogged about a location I will provide a link to the post, though you won’t be able to comment on it as I restrict comments to six months.
Let’s start with A for Aberdovey/Aberdyfi.

I didn’t know very much about Wales before I met the OH and moved to live with him in Shrewsbury in 2002. Weekends saw us popping over the border on many occasions. This was on a very cold February day and I recall having a lovely lunch in the picturesque Dovey Inn overlooking these stunning views of the estuary.

I havenβt been to Wales much and this place is definitely new to me. It looks lovely.
I had only been to Wales once before I met the OH and that wasn’t for a good occasion. Whilst living in Shropshire we spent quite a lot of time in the country, both close i.e. Powys and further afar such as Pembrokeshire. We even honeymooned in Portmeirion! It’s a lovely country, great beaches, interesting castles and mountains too.
I always liked what we saw. We must go back. At least I have been, unlike N Ireland which I have never visited (but would like to). Where we live now itβs just so hard to look past Scotland and the Lake District. Too much choice!
Lovely spot. I like how you’re choosing themes such as the 12 days of Christmas and now the A-Z landscapes. I may have to do something like this (with a theme of some sort, not A-Z landscapes.)
I have found that a theme makes me concentrate on the photos to select rather than just randomly choosing them. Of course a challenge open to others is another way of using the blog.
I shall enjoy this series, Jude!
I hope so Sue. Some places I will have already written about, but probably a long time ago.
Oh, I shall have forgotten, Iβm sure!
Fabulous idea Jude and wonderful photos to start π
Thanks Brian. Hopefully the photos will continue to be good, though some of the letters will pose a challenge!
I am sure your creativity will win out Jude π
Lovely idea. Lovely images too
A really good cold winter’s day. One nice thing about living in Shropshire was the easy access to Wales.
SNAP, as I had similar thoughts regarding A – Z in NZ. Wonderful images, Jude, and the Wales countryside is a picture perfect place though I am sure the weather is more challenging than the UK.
I have thought about an A-Z in Cornwall, but some letters are difficult to track down. I might have to give that one more thought. I’d love to learn more about NZ though so hope you give it more thought.
My ability to stay focused on any given task is not the best at the moment so it may be a while before I do it.
Love this idea!
Thanks Aletta, now to see if I can manage all 26 letters!
I am sure you will! π
Very pretty! Iβm looking forward to your project.
I keep changing my mind on the letters, some are much easier than others so there might be some oddballs in the mix.
Beautiful pictures! Can’t wait to see the other places on you A-Z list π
Thank you!
What a great idea Jude ! It will certainly throw up some new places to discover .
Aberdovey I’ve only visited fleetingly on one of our dusting off days but would be more than happy to find myself that way again . Super weather for your February photograph !
It’s very pretty scenery around that area, I only wish we could have more drier days to explore this winter so I could capture some equally lovely Cornish scenes. alas it has been wet for weeks. And I mean WET!!!
π Ah yes I know WET conditions in Cornwall very well too Jude Lol
I’ll keep π€ for you !
